Star Trek Meets the Knights of the Round Table
Some Sunday afternoon sillyness…
Star Trek Meets Monty Python
Torchwood is Back!
Gwen and Captain Jack
With all the new faces on Doctor Who it was never entirely clear what would happen with it’s spin off show, Torchwood. However, the Beeb have announced today that Torchwood will be back, and it’s gonna be bigger then ever!
Dispite handing over the reins of Who to Stephen Moffat, Russell T Davies has retained his head writer/show-runner status on Torchwood, heading up a team of writers for the new series. One major change this time though is that the show won’t all be coming from Wales. Plans are afoot to give the show a more global look, with filming scheduled to take place in the US, and other locations around the world. John Barrowman and Eve Myles will be back as Captain Jack and Gwen, along with a new set of Torchwood recruits.
The new 10-episode series will be a co-production between BBC Cymru Wales, BBC Worldwide and US network ‘Starz Entertainment.’
The English National Anthem… In Na’vi!
The Queen Na'vi
Happy St. Georges Day! And to celebrate this (and the fact that Avatar is out on Blu-ray & DVD on Monday 26th April), we bring you all 5 verses of the English National Anthem… in Na’vi! (and yes, this is quite possibly the geekiest thing we’ve ever posted…) 
The English National Anthem… In Na’vi!
| ENGLISH | NA’VI |
| 1 | |
| God save our gracious Queen, Long live our noble Queen, God save the Queen: Send her victorious, Happy and glorious, Long to reign over us: God save the Queen. |
Tsahìkit ayohengä txoa atawnìng Eywal zivong, Nulkrr rivey ayohengä nawma Tsahìkit, Tsahìkit Eywal zivong: Fpe’ poet afkew, alefpom sì anawm, Nulkrr eivyk ayohengit: Eywal Tsahìkit zivong! |
| 2 | |
| O Lord, our God, arise, Scatter thine enemies, And make them fall Confound their politics, Frustrate their knavish tricks, On thee our hopes we fix: God save us all. |
Ma Eywa, ayohengä Eywa, kllkxem, kxll si ngengeyä kutut, Ulte zeykup fot Foä ‘eykia tìpängkxot, Foä leskxawnga aysäsyepit steyki, Ngengarì ayohengä aysìlpeyit yem: Eywal ayohengit zivong. |

| Thy choicest gifts in store, On her be pleased to pour; Long may she reign: May she defend our laws, And ever give us cause To sing with heart and voice God save the Queen. |
Ngeyä sweya sìtìnghu, Tutet nìftxavang tìng; Tutel nulkrr eivyk ayohengit: Tutel zivong ayoengä horenit, Ulte frakrr tìng ayoengur lunit, a tsun rivol txe’lan sì mokri Eywal tsahìkit zivong. |
| 4 | |
| Not in this land alone, But be God’s mercies known, From shore to shore! Lord make the nations see, That men should brothers be, And form one family, The wide world over. |
Ke mì fìatxkxe nì’aw, Slä livu a Eywayä tìyawnit kame, Ta txampay ne txampay! Eywal keykame pongut Tsnì sutan zene smukan livu, Ulte slu ‘aw soaia, Txana kìfkeymì. |
| 5 | |
| From every latent foe, From the assassins’ blow, God save the Queen! O’er her thine arm extend, For Britain’s sake defend, Our mother, princess, and friend, God save the Queen! |
Ta frakxutu atusok, Ta tspangyuä tukru, Eywal tsahìkit zivong! Tutet lew si ngengeyä pxun, Zong fpi Kelutral, Ayoengä sa’nok, tsahìk, sì ‘eylan, Eywal tsahìkit zivong! |

Cheyenne Mountain Closes The Stargate
Stargate Worlds Cancelled
Stargate Worlds is no more
I’m sorry to say Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment, developers of Stargate Worlds, has finally had to call it a day. It’s been on the cards for a while, but after months of stories about finacial trouble, and having to file for Chapter 11 last month, they are now officially closing down.
The Stargate: Resistance shooter they put out last month in an effort to help the bank balance has been sold on to Fresh Start Studios, but all development on the Stargate Worlds MMO has ceased.
Sad news, as we’ve said a number of times on this site, Stargate is the perfect universe for an MMO setting, and as massive Stargate fans we’d hoped they’d pull through. Unfortunately, it wasn’t to be.
